The Syrian Bride (Hebrew: הכלה הסורית, romanized: HaKala HaSurit) is a 2004 film directed by Eran Riklis. The story deals with a Druze wedding and the troubles the politically unresolved situation creates for the personal lives of the people in and from the village. The film's plot looks at the Arab–Israeli conflict through the story of a family divided by political borders and how their lives are fractured by the region's harsh political realities.
The film has garnered critical acclaim and has won or been nominated internationally for several notable awards.
